Re: Updated XFree86
Well, the .xsession is executable... adding my user to the gdm group didn't help... SUID...New to this...can you explain a little about this...? XFree86 is dependent on wrapper...it won't uninstall...I can force it...but...

I have vague recollections that your ~/.xsession should be marked executable for xdm/gdm/kdm to work properly. Is it? I can't recall if there is a special group added to /etc/group for the xsession manager but if there is one your users may need to belong to that group. Does gdm run SUID?

Updated XFree86
Hi, I updated XFree86 this morning after a cvsup using portupgrade -r...did all packages for XFree86 (Server, libraries etc. etc.) I now have a problem with GDM... I can log in as root using the GDM, but if I log in as another user, it pops a message up about my session not lasting longer than 10 seconds and dumping me back to login. I get a "client 5 rejected from local host" in my logs, and I get a "run_session_chiled: Could not open ~/.xsession-errors" on the console (even though it exists)... I can stop the GDM running, and log in in the console and then run startx, and that runs fine (that is how I am writing this... ;)) Anyone got any ideas?
